Medical Done in 1 Day @ SLEC

Oct 17 & 18 was my brother's scheduled  medical exam at St. Lukes  Extention Clinic (SLEC) . A day before his scheduled medical, he made an appointment by registering online  at the SLEC website and printed out the appointment confirmation. He made photocopies of the SLEC appointment letter and took it with him including 3 (2x2) id pictures with white background, 2 photocopies of his passport(biographic page), medical fee of  $223 . Fees must be paid in Philippine pesos at a current prevailing rate.

 But, that online registration  does not guarantee him or any applicants for  fast service because it's a first come, first serve basis. So, whoever gets there early, will be served first.

According to SLEC website, EACH APPLICANT/IMMIGRANT  MUST PRESENT THE FOLLOWING:
1. Valid passport
2. Photocopy of Passport Biographic/Data Page, the page in the passport that contains the applicant's photo and information. The photocopy should be the same size as the original, not enlarged or reduced.
3. 3 pieces recent 2x2 visa photos (2 for submission to the U.S. Embassy, 1 for clinic file)
   
   The US Embassy requires you to bring the 2x2 photos for your visa issuance. SLEC, regret not to release the medical report until such time that the applicant can provide this requirement.
4. Visa Interview Appointment letter from the Embassy or Instruction letter from the National Visa Center (NVC), if available,
5. 2 photocopies of your Appointment Letter/ Instruction Letter
6. Applicants are also required to provide the name, address and contact number of their petitioner in the U.S.A.

My brother stayed at the nearby Casa Bogobo hotel, a walking distance to SLEC. He  thought he was there early, but was 10th in line. When the clinic opened, the guard called the first 10 to get inside and start by filling out the necessary paper works  that was given by the staff.  The reception area opened at 6:00am. He was done with his medical by 11:00am and was instructed to come back in the afternoon for the result. He went to his hotel room for lunch and came back around 1:00pm at SLEC. He PASSED his medical and he was given a CD. Basically, his medical was done in half day. If he had a problem on his x-ray, it would be a different story.


Next is his interview at the US Embassy on Oct 29, 2013.
